MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

I'm so glad to have found you, although I had a bit of tech problems yesterday getting registered. I seem to have lost everything I did. The most surprising thing I learned was that I am not the only person to not go to that first referred doctor after my diagnosis. It was the denial part of my grieving process. Thanks to whoever it was who posted the steps of grieving as they manifest with disease. I have been very familiar with the stages of grief as they apply to death and dying, but I just never thought to apply them to my health, or lack of it. Well done!

Question: how do I get a picture uploaded if the brouse button isn't active? Is it because I'm using an IPad?

Hey Janet,

Welcome to the forum! Naddya did a great job on the article, didn't she? It's great! I don't have an iPad, but I would think you should be able to upload a picture with one. I'd play around with it, and see what you can do. If you can't get it to work with the iPad, you might check and see what happens with your account from a desktop or a laptop at home, and see if it changes. If it does, then I'd guess it has something to do with the iPad. I'm not a mega-techie, but I have some knowledge, but I've also never used an iPad, so I'm only guessing. It may have something to do with the issues that users are having with identity theft with the iPad, so it may be a security thing that is preventing you from uploading the pic? That would be my best guess. If you can do it from home, I'd guess that it has to do with security codes/issues.

Hope that helps some!

Hugs,

Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.

Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...
